Authorities said the bystander reported the body around 11 a.m. Officers along with detectives and crime scene investigators then responded and located the woman near a campsite.

Ervin said the investigation is being treated as a “death investigation.” The woman was found clothed with no signs of trauma, but foul play had not been ruled out by Sunday evening, officials said.

Ervin said the woman had been living in the campsite. She did not have identification on her. The Medical Examiner’s Office placed the time of death in the last 24 to 48 hours.

As of Sunday evening no further details had been released, according PCPD spokesman Lt. Robert Luther.

An autopsy will be conducted Monday morning and a fingerprint analysis will be used to confirm the woman’s identity, officials said.

The investigation is ongoing and more details will be released as they are made available.
